RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS LA. PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 15 

shown b}" the report of the treasurer of the exposition compan}- here- 
unto attached and made a part of this statement. 

This statement inchides receipts for April 30, the opening day of 
the exposition. The balance of $1,451,276.67 is sufficient to cover the 
outstandino- contract demands of the exposition company for the month 
of May. 

The reported admissions to the fair grounds on April 30 of 187,793 
would indicate that the receipts on account of admissions should be 
larger than shown by the statement. The exposition management 
admitted a very large number of persons free of charge on the open- 
ing day. Due attention will be given to the matter of restricting free 
admissions within reasonable and necessar}^ limits. 

The statement is transmitted in triplicate and dul}'^ certified as cor- 
rect by Jones, Ceasar & Co., expert accountants, employed by the 
Commission. 

Very respectfully, Thos. H. Carter. 

The President of the United States,

. National Commissioners, 
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission, 

St. Louis, July m, 190J^, 

Sir: In conformitj^ with the requirements of section 11 of the act 
of CongTess, making an appropriation for the Louisiana Purchase 
Exposition, and for other purposes, approved March 3, 1901, under 
direction of the National Commission, I have the honor to transmit 
herewith a report showing the receipts and disbursements of the 
exposition for the month of May, 1901, as shown by the statement of 
the treasurer of the company, transmitted by AV alter B. Stevens, sec- 
retary, a copy of which is hereunto annexed and made a part of this 
report. 

B}^ reference to former reports it will be ascertained that the Com- 
mission caused a careful audit of the books of the exposition company 
to be brought up to the 10th day of September, 1903. In transmitting 
the results of that audit certain criticisms were made upon the lack of 
system which had theretofore obtained in keeping the accounts of the 
exposition company. Indeed the fact was disclosed that before the 
audit the monthly statement made to the Commission by the company, 
and in turn made a part of the Commission's report, contained errors 
to such an extent as to render the figures in detail to a certain degree 
unreliable. 

Upon the basis of the information concerning the infirmities of the 
accounting system shown by the audit, the Commission called the atten- 
tion of the president of the exposition company to the defects disclosed 
by the investigation. The suggestions or criticisms were apparently 
received in good faith, and the president of the company readily avowed 
his purpose to immediately cause the S3'stem of accounting to be cor- 
rected and improved. 

Desiring to avoid the expense of auditing the accounts completely 
every month, and relying upon the proposal of the exposition com- 
pany to correct defects, the Commission thereafter received the state- 
ments of the company, onl}^ causing the same to be checked over by 
its experts with a view of disclosing any possible error in computation 



26 RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS LA. PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 

or any variance between the books and the statements made therefrom. 
Thus the reports submitted since last September show the actual 
receipts and disbursements as recorded in the books of the company. 

This policy governed until the month of April, 1904, when, with the 
approach of the opening of the exposition, it was deemed prudent to 
cause another general audit to be made of the books from the 10th of 
September to the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901. This 
audit has progressed far enough to include the month of May, to which 
the report herewith transmitted refers. It, therefore, seems appro- 
priate to here call attention to the continuance of serious defects in the 
companj^'s system of accounts. 

While in a few specific instances certain a(;counts, to which the 
attention of the company was particularly called last September, have 
since been more accurately kept, the general condition of the books 
shows little or no im^jrovement. 

For the purpose of procuring an expression of the views of Messrs. 
Jones, Ceasar & Co., the expert accountants employed by the Com- 
mission in connection with this work, a letter was addressed to them 
on the Tth instant, reading as follows: 

July 7, 1904. 
Messrs. Jones, Caesar & Co., 

Accountants, City. 

Gentlemen: For use in making np a summary of the financial affairs of the expo- 
sition for the month of May, the Commission desires special information from you 
on the following points: 

First. Do the books of the company disclose the actual operating expense of the 
exposition from day to day, or any other stated intervals, or the relation between 
operating expense and cash receipts? 

Second. Do the books of the company show separately and distinctly the receipts 
from different sources and the disbursements for operating expense, construction, 
and other accounts so as to enable the person examining the same to readily ascertain 
he exact state of the company's finances in each department at any time? 

Third. Are the books of the company so kept as to enable an accountant to draw 
a balance therefrom showing the assets, liabilities, and all items ordinarily embraced 
W'ithin a balance sheet? 

Fourth. Is the system employed by the company, as inspected by you in the course 
of your work of auditing, such as provides, without needless labor, a thoroughly ade- 
quate and efficient check, both on the disbursement of the funds of the company and 
to secure the collection of all revenue from every source properly accruing to the 
company? 

Fifth. State accurately', if you can, if not, state approximately, the outstanding 
liabilities of the company on the 31st day of May, 1904; also please state the amount 
of expense incurred by the press and publicity department during the month of May, 
and the details of the different items. 

Sixth. How do the books of the company compare wath the condition in which you 
found them at the time of your audit, September 10, 1903? 

Seventh. What, if any, suggestions have you to ofi[er with reference to any needed 
amendment or improvement in the system of bookkeeping? 
Yours, very truly, 

Thos. H. Carter. 

Under date of July 8 the accountants replied to the letter as follows: 

St. Louis, Jidy 8, 1904- 
Hon. Thos. H. Carter, 

President Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission, St. Louis. 

Sir: "We are in receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, and have pleasure in fur- 
nishing the information asked therein. Before attempting to answer the various 
questions in detail, however, we think it well to explain certain features of the 
company's accounting system which have an important bearing, particularly on the 
first three questions: 



EECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS LA. PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 27 

Except in a few special cases, liabilities are not placed on the books until warrants 
are about to be issued in payment thereof. As the system of approving bills for 
payment requires their certification by numerous executive officers, a delay of weeks, 
and even months, frequently occurs between the time when the liability is incurred 
and the date when it is placed on the books. Consequently, there is always a large 
liability not recorded on the books, and which can only be ascertained by the collec- 
tion from various officers of the company of information as to the amount of bills 
held in their various departments for approval. As a result, it is of course impossible 
to ascertain the liabilities incurred in any period. Further, no attempt has been 
made to draw definite lines of distinction between expenditures for construction, 
for preexposition expenses, and for current operating expenses during the exposition 
period, respectively." 

Under these conditions, it is of course quite impossible to ascertain from the books 
the actual operating expense for any stated period, or the percentage of gross receipts 
absorbed by such operating expense. 

From the reports of the AVorld's Columbian Exposition, it appears that the 
expenses of that exposition, excluding construction and including only "such charges 
I as were applicable to the management of the exposition during the six months of 
its continuance," averaged 1578,534.10 per month. The number of police at Chicago 
was about 1,000 in excess of the number at St. Louis, involving a saving at the latter 
exposition of probably 160,000 per month; and assuming the wages and expenses 
on other accounts to be about the same as at Chicago, the monthlv operating expenses 
would be over $500,000. 

In reply to your second question, we would say that the books of the company 
show separately the receipts from different sources as they reach the general treas- 
urer. They do not, however, show the revenues which have accrued to the company, 
but have not been collected, nor the amount received by the local treasurer but not 
turned over by him to the general treasurer. As illustrating the importance of this 
qualification, we might mention that on May 31 there was approximately $82,000 of 
revenue due to the company but uncollected, and also that receipts of the local treas- 
urer amounting to $27,845 which were actually in his hands at the close of that day 
and were turned over to the treasurer on June 1, did not appear in the statement of 
receipts and disbursements to May 31. 

With regard to disbursements, detailed records of these are available, but no dis- 
tinction is made as to the period to which they apply. Moreover, as before mentioned, 
there is at all times a large amount, probably never less than $1,000,000, of liabilities 
outstanding for supplies actually received or services rendered, which do not appear 
in the books. Consequently, it is not possible to ascertain from the books "the exact 
state of the company's finances in each department," 

Further, the books being kept on a cash basis, containing practically no record of 
assets other than cash, or of liabilities for which warrants have not been drawn, it is 
quite impossible to prepare therefrom an accurate, or even an approximate, balance 
sheet of the company at any date. 

With regard to your fourth question, as to the efficiency of the present auditing 
system, in our opinion the system now provides a proper check, both on the disburse- 
ments and the revenues of the company, but we are of the opinion that some needless 
labor is expended in connection with the system, as mentioned later in our answer to 
question 7. 

Owing, w^e are informed, to misunderstandings between various officers as to the 
responsibility in regard to obtaining bonds on employees of the company, we are 
unable to obtain information as to what officers and employees are at present under 
bond. We have, however, ascertained that the local treasurer (who at May 31 had 
about $27,000 in cash and a large amount of bills for collection in his hands) is under 
no bond. 

In connection with the question of check on disbursements, it seems proper to 
state that certain vouchers, aggregating $2,585.81, for expenditures which were 
approved by the officers of the company and sent to the special disbursing agent of 
the United States Treasury for payment but disallowed by him, have since been paid 
out of the funds in the hands of the treasurer of the company. 

Referring to question 5, it is not possible to state accurately the outstanding liabil- 
ties of the company at May 31, 1904, and to obtain even an approximate statement 
would involve an examination in detail of all warrants since approved, and also of all 
the invoices and vouchers awaiting approval. In this connection, we may mention 
that we believe there are at present from from 800 to 1,000 vouchers awaiting approval 
in the president's office alone. For your information, however, we would state that 
the auditor estimates that out of total warrants of $1,500,000 recorded in June, at 



28 RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS LA. PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 

least $1,000,000 represented expenditures incurred in May or earlier, and a general 
examination of the vouchers tends to show that this estimate is substantially correct, 

There remained at June 30 a liability on contracts, etc., in the division of works, 
amounting to $593,708.58, practically the whole of which, we understand, was 
incurred before May 31, and the total liabilities at that date not taken into account 
on the general books of the company doubtless exceeded $1,500,000. 

The vouchers registered in May, 1904, on account of press and publicity amount to 
$38,635.48. We append hereto a schedule showing the nature of the principal 
amounts comprised in this total. 

In reply to your sixth and seventh questions as to the condition of the books and 
the changes we would recommend, we have to report that while certain accounts to 
which we drew specific attention at our present audit have since then been more 
accurately kept, the general condition of the books shows little or no change. We 
would add that, in our opinion, no better results can be looked for until an improve- 
ment is effected in the staff of the auditing department, but that, on the contrary, 
the conditions will grow worse as the volume of business increases. 

While, however, we think the remedy for many of the existing defects lies solely 
in the improvement of the accounting staff, we also think substantial improvements 
might be made in the system: 

First. In view of the importance to all the parties in interest of having statements 
showing the true financial condition, and the results of current operations of the com- 
pany from time to time, the system should be changed so that liabilities would be 
brought into account when incurred instead of when paid, and assets when created 
instead of when realized. 

Second. The analysis of expenditures should be made so as to show^ clearly con- 
struction expenditures, preexposition expenses, and current operating expenses. 

These two changes would not, we believe, involve any additional work, but would 
even tend to reduce the number of warrants issued and to lessen the work involved 
in keeping the records of expenditures. 

Third. More attention should be given to the verification of the balances appear- 
ing on the auditor's books, which should be reconciled at short intervals with the 
corresponding records of the various departments. 

As an instance of the necessity of such reconciliations, we would mention that the 
local treasurer's account was out of balance on a. ay 31, 1904, and on investigation we 
found the difference to be the result of a large number of errors, aggregating altogether 
$12,235.77. Among these errors were the following: 

Intramural receipts for eight days, aggregating $6,954.80, omitted to be charged 
to local treasurer. 

Amounts charged to local treasurer on account of concessions bills, which should 
have been credited, $1,309.34. 

Fourth. At present, large amounts are carried as advances to officers and agents, 
which have undoubtedly been expended by those agents and should be charged to 
proper expenditure accounts. An improvement to relieve the advance accounts will 
be made more promptly. 

Fifth. The auditor's department should exercise effective check on the accounting 
of the admissions and concessions and other departments. 

While the audit of the receipts and the control of the accounts in connection there- 
with in the various departments is vested by the by-laws in the auditor, yet in 
practice, owing to the volume of work involved in the bookkeeping and in the audit 
of disbursements, the auditor's department has exercised little or no control over the 
accounting and audit of the receipts. The audit of the receipts from admissions and 
concessions, which form by far the greater part of the total, is in the hands of depart- 
ments of the division of concessions and admissions. The system of check in these 
departments, as originally laid down, was in the main satisfactory, but at the time 
we commenced our present audit we found that, through pressure of work, records 
which were essential to the proper m intenance of this check had been allowed to 
fall behind. Recently, however, by the elimination of records which were either 
unnecessary or duplicates, a substantial improvement has been effected in this respect, 
and at present we think the auditing of these receipts is in satisfactory condition. 
The amounts of the admissions department are, however, still not in agreement with 
the auditor's books, and the differences should be located and adjusted, and there- 
after closer touch maintained between the two departments. 

Sixth. The preparation of vouchers for payment might be expedited by modifying 
the regulations regarding approvals so far as small amounts are concerned. We 
would point out that the approval of such vouchers by executive officers must either 
be purely perfunctory or must take up an amount of their time quite disproportionate 
to the importance of the vouchers. 



EECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS LA. PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 29 

We think other changes might be made with a view of reducing the volume of 
detail, which at present is so great that many records are falling in arrear, and essen- 
tial information is not obtained until too late to afford its full value. 

We shall be glad to discuss the question further, and in detail, at any time if 
desired. 

Yours, faithfully, Jones, Caesar & Co.

It will be perceived that the books of the exposition company are in 
such a state of confusion that a balance sheet can not be drawn from 
them showing the true financial condition of the compan3^ It further 
appears that the operatiog expenses of the exposition can not be ascer- 
tained. The preexposition, construction, and operating expenses 
are not so separated one from the other as to render it possible to 
ascertain by consulting the books just what the operating expenses are, 
without going back, in many instances, to the original data, and to a 
considerable degree dissecting the accounts in an attempt to reach a 
conclusion as to the true financial condition of the exposition. Again, 
the liabilities of the company can not be ascertained from the books 
at all. Hence, w^hile the statement herewith transmitted shows 
$1,409,204.59 available cash on hand May 31, 1904, the statement does 
not, and can not from the books, be made to show the amount of out- 
standing liabilities. A general summary of the financial condition of 
the exposition can not be made except in an approximate way on the 
basis of estimates and independent compilations. 

After a very careful investigation made, with the aid of Messrs. 
Jones, Ceasar & Co. , we feel fully warranted in saying that the liabil- 
ities on May 31, 1904, exceeded the available cash on hand. 



30 EECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS LA. PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 

Between 800 and 1,000 accounts have accumulated in the office of 
the president of the exposition company which the experts did not 
examine in the course of their investigations. Lack of information as 
to the amount involved in this accumulation and in the accounts being 
held for approval in the various departments renders it quite impossible 
to state definitely what the excess of liabilities over available cash on 
hand really was on the last-named date. 

In addition to the accounts referred to the Commission is aware of 
the existence of certain contingent liabilities aggregating a very large 
sum. The liability to the United States of $4,600,000 advanced under 
authority of an act of Congress is not included in the liabilities herein- 
before referred to. 

Any attempt to determine the daily operating expenses of the expo- 
sition would involve consultation of original data and the dissecting of 
accounts to such an extent as to cause the indefinite postponement of 
this report if that course should be followed. 

These criticisms generally refer to the accounting system of the 
company. It should be stated that the records of the division of works 
show at all times the outstanding liabilities and the general condition 
of that division. The accounting in the division of concessions and 
admissions has been much improved recently, and is now, in the opinion 
of the auditors, in a satisfactory condition. 

^ With a view of submitting an approximate estimate of the monthly 
[ expense of operating, the Commission has consulted the published 
' records of the Columbian Exposition, from which it appears that the 
average monthly expenses of operating at Chicago amounted to the 
sum of |578,534:.10. Deducting the sum of $60,000 per month for 
the payment of 1,000 guards employed there in excess of the number 
employed here, and assuming that other expenses would be about 
equal, we find that the average monthly expense of conducting this 
exposition will be, substantially, the sum of $520,000, or $20,000 per 
day. It is the belief that this estimate, based upon comparison, is 
very conservative, considering the larger proportions of the Louisana 
Purchase Exposition and the higher rate of wages and supplies now 
prevailing. 

As the whole exposition period will embrace one hundred and eighty- 
four days during which the gates can be legally kept open tp the pub- 
lic, 125,000 per day of the receipts will be absorbed in repaying the 
Government loan. It therefore follows that the average daily receipts 
must reach the sum of $45,000 in order to paj^ the operating expenses 
and the Government loan of $4,600,000. ... 

Tested by the $45,000 average daily requirement, and distributing 
all receipts for season tickets equally over the whole exposition period, 
we find that the receipts for the month of May fall short of the amount 
required for that month in the sum of $622,000. 

The statement for May included receipts on April 30, which were 
quite large, but to offset this item attention is called to the fact that 
certain amounts earned during the month of May were uncollected on 
the 31st of the month and are not embraced in the statement. These 
items would probably offset each other, thus leaving the statement 
fairly accurate. 

The paid admissions at the Columbian Exposition during the month 
of May were 972,825. The paid admissions at St. Louis up to May 31 



RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS LA. PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 31 

and including the opening da}^ April 30, were G67,772. Exclusive 
of April 30, the opening da^^ the actual number of paid admissions 
during the entire month of May was 542,018, or a daily average of 
20,847. 

From the printed report of the Columbian Exposition it appears 
that receipts from admissions amounted to approximateh' 69 per cent 
of the total revenues of the exposition, while receipts from con- 
cessions and all other sources of revenue amounted to 31 per cent. 
It seems that the proportion of receipts from concessions at this expo- 
sition is somewhat larger than above suggested. In estimating we 
place receipts from admissions at 60 per cent and receipts from conces- 
sions and other sources of revenue at 10 per cent of the total earnings. 

If it could be assumed (which unhappily it can not) that the cash on 
hand May 31 was sufficient to meet the liabilities outstanding at that 
time, exclusive of the Government loan, the financial prospect would 
be as follows: 

Government loan to be paid $4, 600, 000 

Operating expense for six months, §520, 000 3, 120, 000 

Total 7, 720, 000 

This amount divided by 157, the number of exposition days then 
remaining, would require average daily receipts amounting to Sl9,172. 
Then taking as a basis the foregoing assumption that 60 per cent of 
the earnings will accrue from admissions and 10 per cent from conces- 
sions and other sources of revenue, we find that it will be necessar}' to 
receive ^29,503.20 daily from admissions. If all admissions were paid 
at full rates this Avould require daily paid attendance of 59,007 persons; 
but since children are admitted at- half rates it is probably conservative 
to fix the necessary daily attendance at 65,000 in order to meet the 
actual demand for operating expenses and the payment of the Govern- 
ment loan. 

The daily average paid admissions during Ma}^ were onh^ 20,817. 
We have been notified of the record in June, but in an informal way 
it has been ascertained that the paid admissions, though showing a 
large increase over Ma}^, fell far short of the estimated minimum nec- 
essary to meet operating expense and to pay the Government loan. 

The unfortunate limitation of receipts from admissions is attribu- 
table chiefly to two causes: 

First. The very large number of free admissions granted by the 
exposition company over the protests of the Commission, and, as the 
Commission believes, in violation of law. Section 7 of the act of Con- 
gress relating to the exposition, approved March 3, 1901, reads as 
follows: 

Sec. 7. That after the plans for said exposition shall be prepared by said company 
and approved by said Commission, the rules and regulations of said corporation gov- 
erning rates for entrance and admission fees, or otherwise affecting the rights, privi- 
leges, or interests of the exhibitors, or of the public, shall be fixed or established by 
said company, subject, however, to the modification or approval of said Commission. 

Acting under this section of the statute rates of admission were 
established by the company and approved b}" the Commission, but 
the officers of the company, without reference to the Commission, 
proceeded to issue, and continues to issue, free passes in large num- 
bers, alleging that the right exists in the compan}^ to do this without 



j

the approval of the Commission. In reply to the Commission's protests- 
the company furnished for its information only a copy of general 
rules under \vhich the passes were being- issued. The Commission 
thereupon proposed to submit the question of the right of the com- 
pan}^ to admit persons to the grounds without payment of admission 
fees, and without approval of the Commission, to the board of arbi- 
tration provided for in section -i of the aforesaid act of Congress. 

After some delay the exposition company yielded the point in dif- 
ference and submitted their rules and regulations to the Commission 
for its action under section 7 aforesaid. The rules as subrnitted were 
modified by the Commission so as to require the cancellation of free 
admission jpasses issued contrary to the rules and regulations proposed, 
and further providing that in future no pass not provided for in the 
rules should be issued without the approval of the Commission. After 
having had the matter under consideration for eleven days the company 
informed the Commission that its executive committee refused to con- 
sent to the rules as modified. Again the Commission appealed to the 
board of arbitration, before which tribunal the matters of difference 
on this question between the compan}^ and the Commission are now 
pending. 

As indicating the extent of the abuse of which the Commission com- 
plains in this behalf it is but necessary to make a comparison between 
the free admissions at the Columbian Exposition during the month of 
May and the free admissions at this exposition during the same month. 
At the Columbian Exposition during the month of May passes, exclu- 
sive of workmen, amounted to 31.6 per cent of the total admissions, 
whereas at this exposition during the corresponding period the free 
admissions amounted to 41.8 per cent of the total. Notwithstanding* 
thg much lower percentage of free admissions at Chicago the issuance 
of^free passes was there deemed excessive, and in the month of July 
th board of control caused all passes to be revalidated, and thousands 
of those outstanding were recalled and canceled. For the purpose 
of this comparison Sundays have been excluded in both cases, and 
workmen's passes have not been taken into account. 

The second cause of limited receipts from admissions is traceable to 
inadequate attention to the publicit}^ division. It is a matter of com- 
mon observation that the superb proportions of this exposition have 
not been brought to the attention of the press of the country outside 
of the city of St. Louis and its vicinity in such a manner as to secure 
the space and attention to which its undoubted merits entitle it. An 
examination of the daily and weekly papers of the countrj^ published 
beyond the limits of St. Louis will suffice to show that this great 
exposition is not being exploited as was the Columbian Exposition, 
nor to the extent necessary to give the reading public any just con- 
ception of the monumental educational force collected here. 

The press of the city of St. Louis gives an excellent record of cur- 
rent events on the fair grounds from day to dav, and also furnishes 
much interesting descriptive matter. Through this medium the read- 
ing public within the range of the circulation of the St. Louis papers 
obtains the information necessary to stimulate attendance. Beyond 
the line where the people rely for news upon the St. Louis papers the 
publicity work is deplorably wanting in efficiency. The bulletin 
issued by the publicity division each day contains much matter of

intorest upon the fair (grounds in tho wjiy of a pronnnnin,. oi (xcnr-os 
for the onsniiig day. and otlicrwiso is largoly devott'd to descriptions 
of ceremonies that have taken place. The items which mioflJt attract 
the attention of the press of the country arc unskill fully interwoven 
with lines of matter which, generally speaking, are of little more than 
local interest, and only in a remote sense calculated to attract visitors. 

It must he apparent to all that the press of the country at lartre is 
not. and can not, in the nature of things, be hostile to the exposition. 
It is well known that the Government of the Tnited States extended 
to this exposition the most muniticent financial aid ever extended to 
any like enterprise. It is also known that l)y and through the invita- 
tion extended by the President of the United States, under authority 
of law, to the nations of the earth to participate in the exj)()sitiori. 
supplemented by the active efforts of the consular and diplomatic 
forces of the (xovernment abroad, very large and creditable foieign 
participation has been secured. Attracted by the extraordinary recog- 
nition extended V)v the (riMieral Government to the expositioTi. the 
States, Territories, and Districts of the United States were induced to 
participate to an unprecedented extent. With national ai)proval and 
encouragement, the governm<Mit of the Philippine Islands, at great 
expense, collected and installed upon these grounds an exhibit of 
absorbing interest. Indeed, if fairly described to the i)eople of the 
country, the Philii)pine exhibit on its own account would attract an 
intei-est — as large an attendance as the daily average nt the whole 
exposition during the month of May. 

The country at large has no interest in incidental ceremonies, nor 
are the ])eople liable to be attracted here by the memory of a cere- 
mony that has passed. If advised of tlu^ thousands of objects of int<'rest 
to be seen in the exhibition palaces and elsewhere upon the exposition 
grounds, the people will undouhtedly be pronij^t in availing tluMU- 
selves of the privilege of visiting the exposition during the short pcii«»<l 
it is to continue. 

For the purpose of utilizing this great exposition for the ditl'usion 
of knowledge amongst the people, and incidentally of securing repay- 
ment of its large advances through incnnised attendance, the (Govern- 
ment seems not only warranted in urging, but justified in insisting 
upon the adoption by the exposition manageiuent of some ]iolicy of 
exploitation and pul>licity which will result in conv(\ving to the body 
of the people an adequate idea of the merits and proportions of the 
exposition. 

In view of the conditions, the Xntional ( \)niiul<--^i(>fi rc»])c(tfiill\ 
suggests: 

First. The propriety of the designation by the Secretary of ti»e 
Treasury of one or more expert accountants to supervise the opening 
and conduct of a correct system of books of accounts by the expo>ition 
companv to the end that an exact statement may be obtainable from 
day to (lay of the receipts, expenditures, and liabilities of tlu* ex]>osi- 
tion. and that oflicers intrusted with the hsmdling of large sums of 
money may be promptly charged therewith and held to account under 
bonds. 

Second. That the Secretary of the Treasury, charged with the col- 
lection of the loan made by the Government, be requested to consider

the advisability of suggesting to the exposition company the adoption 
of some enlightened and efficient method of bringing the exposition 
and its attractions to the attention of the people of the countr}^ at large.

JReport on accounts and statement of receipts and disbursements from incorporation of 

company to June 30, 1904- 

. St. Louis, August 18, 1904- 

Gentlemen: In accordance with 3^our instructions, Vv^e have made a detailed audit 
of the books and accounts of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company from 
September 10, 1903, the date of our last audit, to June 30, 1904, and we now have 
the pleasure to hand you herewith statement of receipts and disbursements from the 
incorporation of the company to the latter date. 

We desire to offer the following comment on these accounts: 

RECEIPTS. 

Collections on account of sales of capital stock. — As stated in our report on the audit 
to September 10, 1903, an arrangement was made in August of that year by which 
the company obtained a loan of |600,000 on security of the receipts from capital stock 
and the premium on sales of souvenir coins. Prior to the completion of the loan 
there was received by the company from the sources assigned upward of 1162,000, 
and that amount was deducted from the loan, making the net amount received by 
the company |438,000. 

Payments were subsequently made on account of this loan out of the receipts from 
the above-mentioned sources, and on March 15, 1904, there was a balance outstand- 
ing of $92,515.25, which sum was paid out of the general funds of the company in 
anticipation of receipts from the sources assigned and with a view to effecting a 
saving in interest charges. 

From the time the loan was contracted to June 30, 1904, it would appear that the 
total receipts from the sales of capital stock and the premium on souvenir coins 
amounted to $582,119.34, so that at that date the net amount paid on account of the 
loan out of the general funds of the company amounted to $17,880.66. The unpaid 
subscriptions to capital stock then amounted to $564,889.88, and there also remained 
unsold 224,102 souvenir dollars, so that there seems little doubt that the receipts 
from these sources will amount to more than the sura paid on account of the loan 
from the general funds of the company. 

With regard to the amount of $564,889.88 remaining uncollected on the capital 
stock on June 30, we are informed that approximately $260,000 of this amount was 
due from subscribers to stock of a par value of $500 and upward and $160,000 from 
subscribers of from $100 to $490, the balance being due from subscribers of less than 
$100. Suits have been instituted in numerous cases to recover the amounts due, and 
further realizations are being made continually, so that it is not now possible to report 
finally on this matter. 

Proceeds of mle of city of St. Louis bonds. — The nature of this item and the circum- 
stances attending its receipt were fully explained in our report on the previous audit. 

United States Government aid. — The total amount received by the company, includ- 
ing souvenir gold coin, is $4,747,735.12, out of a total appropriation of $5,000,000. 
We understand, however, that amounts have been paid by the United States Treas- 
ury out of this appropriation which have not been reported to, or included in the 



RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS LA. PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 45^ 

accounts of, the company, and the apparent balance of $252,264.88 is not, therefore^ 
available for future expenses of the company. 

United States Gorernment loan. — Pursuant to an act of Concrress appproved Fel)ruary 
18, 1904, there was advanced to the company from the United States Treasury, by 
way of a loan, the sum of $4,600,000, repayable by semimonthly installments "com- 
mencing June 15, 1904, and equivalent to 40 per cent of the receipts from admissions 
and concessions during the half-month immediately preceding the date of pay- 
ment, yjrovided that the installments after July 1 should amount to not less than 
§500,000 each. 

At June 30 one payment had been made in accordance with this arrangement, 
amounting to §195,057.04, and reducing the amount due to the Government to 
$4,404,942.96. 

Admissions. — We have verified the receipts from admissions, as shown by the 
books of the auditor and treasurer, with the records of the statistical branch of the 
admissions department, and these receipts have also been reconciled with the issues- 
of tickets, so far as the receipts arose from the sale thereof, subject to a few petty 
differences, the net balance of which was an excess receipt by the company of about 
$200. 

Concessions. — We have agreed the receipts shown by the general books of the com- 
pany with the records of the concessions department.^ 

The outstanding concessions bills at June 30, as shown by the general books, 
amounted to $236,964.55, which we have verified by statements from the collector 
and from the concessions department. 

Intramural Raihroy earnings. — This road is operated by the exposition company. 
The road was not in full operation at the commencement of the exposition, and the 
earnings for May amounted to only $24,220.75. In June, however, the earnings 
rose to $91,435.40, and the railway now forms a substantial source of revenue to the 
company. 

Service, transportation, and miscellaneous charges. — These receipts include a large 
number of items for various services rendered by the company. The uncollected 
bills on June 30 amounted, according to the auditor's ledger, to 860,887.41. 

Certain differences exist between the ledger and the detailed record of outstanding 
bills, but as the amount is comparatively small, and the investigation thereof would 
occupy considerable time and delay the completion of this report, we have not 
attempted to reconcile the accounts, but have called the attention of the auditor of 
the company to the necessity of bringing the records into agreement. 

Interest on deposits. — This represents the amount of interest received by the com- 
pany on the balances from time to time standing to its credit at the various banks 
and trust companies. 

Premium on gold coin. — This item represents the premium of $2 per coin on 26,060 
souvenir gold dollars sold. The receipts from this source were, as before mentioned, 
pledged to secure the loan of $600,000 contracted in August, 1903, but are now ren- 
dered available by the repayment in full of that loan. 

Pike rentals, deposited as a special fund to protect bondsmen. — Under contracts with 
the Parkview Realty Company, by which additional area was secured for the exposi- 
tion, the rentals payable were guaranteed by certain ofiicers of the exposition com- 
pany individually, and all rentals received from the subleases of parts of this space 
for concession purposes have been deposited in a special fund to secure these guar- 
antors. 

Special funds. — These consist principally of deposits by employees, etc., for various 
purposes, which are repayable by the company under certain conditions. Small 
differences exist in certain of these funds, the importance of adjusting which we have 
brought to the notice of the company's auditor. 

DISBURSEMENTS. 

We have examined vouchers for all disbursements, and found the same properly 
approved and in order. 

The only items calling for special comment are, we think, the following: 

Grounds and buildings, construction. — It will be seen from Exhibit A that this total 
includes $268,325.98 on account of the Intramural Eailway. In addition to the 
amounts actually paid bills payable have been given for $153,448. 

On the other hand, the contract with the venders of the cars establishes a mini- 
mum salvage value therefor of $105,825. 

Advances to officers and agents to be accounted for. — A considerable portion of this 
total consists of advances for expenditures which have been actually made but not 
properly reported to the company. The remainder, consisting of advances to money 
changers, etc., constitutes an asset of the company. 



46 EEOEIPTS AND DISBUKSEMENTS LA. PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 

Special installation of exhibits — Bills receivable. — The first of these items represents 
the purchase of the whole of the capital stock of the general service company, and 
the second advances to that company. Both items are stated to be assets fully worth 
the amount expended thereon. 

Board of lady managers. — The sum of $100,000 appropriated by the act of Congress 
granting the loan of $4,600,000 to the company for the board of lady managers has 
been turned over to the treasurer of the company, to be held as a special fund for 
payment of expenditures incurred and approved by the board. 

CASH BALANCES. 

We have verified the cash in bank on general account and in the special fund by 
certificates from the depositories. 

We have also traced the payment into bank by the local treasurer on July 1 of the 
balance in his hands at the close of business on June 30.

74 receipts and disbursements la. purchase exposition. 

National Commissioners, 
Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission, 

St. Louis^ No'veinber 17^ lOOJf, 
Sir: In conformity with the provisions of section 11 of the act of 
Congress making an appropriation for the Louisiana Purchase Expo- 
sition, and for other purposes, approved March 3, 1901, b}^ direction 
of the National Commission I have the honor to report the receipts 
and disbursements of the exposition for the month of August, 1904, as 
shown by a statement of the treasurer of the exposition company, 
delivered to the Commission by the secretary thereof, and certified by 
Jones, Caesar & Co., expert accountants for the Commission, which 
statement is hereto attached and made a part of this report. 

It will be observed that the increase of receipts from concessions 
over the preceding month aggregated over $70,000, and that the 
receipts from admissions increased over the preceding month over 
$242,000. 

Total paid admissions for month of August aggregated 1, 992, 248 

Free admissions for month of August aggregated 1, 096, 498 

In view of the receipts continuing from da}^ to da}^ from admissions 
and concessions, the sum of $187,955.57, on hand September 1, and 
supplemented by daily receipts, may be considered adequate to dis- 
charge current obligations. 

The sum named as the amount of cash balance is less than it would 
normally be because of the payment of three installments on the Gov- 
ernment loan during the month of August, instead of two installments, 
as required by law. 

Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 

Thos. H. Carter, President. 

Attest: 

Laurence H. Grahame, 

Secretary. 
The President of the United States, 

Washington., D. C.

Sie: As required by the provisions of section 11 of the act of Con- 
gress making an appropriation for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition 
and for other purposes, approved March 3, 1901, by direction of the 
National Commission I have the honor to report the receipts and dis- 
bursements of the exposition for the month of October, 1904, as shown 
by a statement of the treasurer of the company delivered to the Com- 
mission by the secretary thereof and certified b}^ Jones, Caesar & Co. , 
expert accountants, which statement is hereby made a part of this 
report. 



RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS LA. PURCHASE EXPOSITION. 95 

It will be observed that the statement shows a balance on hand, 
November 1, of $946,380.01. 

As previous^ reported, the records of the compan}^ fail to show an 
outstanding liabilitv until a voucher for the amount to be paid out has 
been regularly approved . and payment made. At the close of the 
exposition, on December 1, an effort will be made to secure, as near 
as ma}" be possible, an approximate estimate of the liabilities then 
outstanding. 

The Commission has at no time relaxed its efforts to induce the com- 
pany to cause its accounts to be so kept as to render it practicable to 
determine therefrom the outstanding liabilities of the exposition. 
Owing to the failure of the compan}^ to comply with the frequent 
requests of the Commission in this behalf, no available means have been 
at hand b}^ which to ascertain outstanding liabilities save and except 
through original investigation into the unrecorded transactions of the 
compan}^ from day to day. In the nature of things such investigation 
could onl}^ result in an approximate estimate of the liabilities outstand- 
ing on any given date. 

The failure of the company to keep its accounts in the manner indi- 
cated has rendered it impossible to make such accurate reports in refer- 
ence to liabilities as the Commission has desired to make in the discharge 
of its duties under the law. 

Respectfully, Thos. H. Carter, 

President.

Lawrence H. Grahame,
